Why choose Forterra for scorpions in Southlake
Stone veneer, landscape boulders and irrigated beds give scorpions cool daytime cover a step or two from a Southlake house, so most live in the landscaping rather than arriving from the greenbelt. Forterra treats that stone harborage directly, flags the features doing the most work so you can decide what to move, and closes the house with the Zero Gap System™.

Why Scorpions Thrive in Southlake
Southlake landscaping gives scorpions good daytime shelter. Decorative stone, timber edging, deep mulch beds and anything sitting flat against the ground are all places to spend daylight within a few feet of the house, and irrigation keeps those spots cool and damp through the season. At night they move, and an unscreened weep hole or a garage door corner is all that is between the bed and the house.
Newer construction means the openings are fewer and easier to close, which works in your favor here. Your exterminator works the perimeter and the stone and timber harborage, fits screens on open weep holes, and tells you which landscape pieces shelter the most scorpions. Reducing the insect population on the property matters too, because that is what keeps them coming.

"Awesome job Christian as always. That was a hughe relief to know you found the wasp nest! Thanks for showing it to us ;-)"
"Taylar came out for m initial service. He was very professional and polite. And he was very educational he helped me with all of my concerns and walked through and around the property with me discussing all of my different options and needs. Absolutely A+ service I'd give him six stars if I could. Thank you Taylar"
"Five stars!! Great service"
"As a first-time customer with Forterra, I am extremely happy and deeply appreciative of their service. Hands down, they are the best pest control company I have ever used. Our rental property had a German roach infestation. Following the initial treatment, they performed weekly follow-up treatments. From the informative phone call and prompt appointment scheduling to the hassle-free service itself, the entire process was seamless. Whenever I had concerns after a treatment, communicating with them was effortless; they listened to my feedback and adjusted the treatment plan accordingly. The service manager, Mr. Chad Brown, constantly kept me updated on the progress of the treatments. After roughly 2.5 to 3 months of hard work, the German roach activity was fully brought under control and resolved. Now, we are in the maintenance phase. I am so pleased with their exceptional service, professional communication, and aggressive follow-up. I highly recommend them!"
How Our Exterminators Treat Scorpions in Southlake
Irrigation keeps Southlake landscaping cool and damp, which is exactly what scorpions want during daylight. At night the weep holes and garage corners are all that stands between the bed and the house.
Remove cover
Lose the cover, lose the scorpions.
A scorpion walks high on its legs and shrugs off surface sprays that kill other pests. What it cannot survive is losing its cover, so we identify and treat rock borders, wood piles and clutter, and you get the short list worth clearing.
Starve hunters
A yard that stops feeding them stops keeping them.
Scorpions came for the crickets and roaches. The quarterly residential pest treatment removes that prey base, and a yard that stops feeding scorpions stops keeping them.
Seal entries
Weep holes and door gaps stop being a way to your bathtub.
Weep holes, door sweeps, attic vents and foundation gaps are how they end up in a bathtub. Zero Gap exclusion closes the routes, so summer heat pushes them somewhere else.
Where Scorpions Get Into Southlake Homes
Scorpions come into Southlake homes at the thresholds and weep holes nearest the deepest planting, and at the garage door corner.
- 01
Weep holes
Scorpion-sized by design and at harborage height, the single most common entry we seal in DFW.
- 02
Garage door bottom
The corner gap plus stored clutter equals daytime shelter one door from the house.
- 03
Soffit gaps
Climbers reach the roofline by wall and tree; attic entries drop them into closets and tubs.
- 04
HVAC penetrations
Cool air leaking from line-set holes is a beacon in a Texas drought.
- 05
Gable vents
Torn screens read as cave entrances to a climbing scorpion. A torn screen is worth replacing, and the inspection points every one out.
- 06
Utility penetrations
Slab-level gaps stay damp; scorpions follow plumbing lines to bathrooms above.

Our Scorpion Control Process in Southlake
We treat the perimeter and harborage rather than the open lawn, screen the weep holes, and flag which landscape features are doing the most work. On newer construction that closure holds.

Transparent quote
Priced from your couch. The quote tool needs about a minute, the office phone barely longer. Scorpion service rides the quarterly plan, so the monthly figure you see is the one you keep.
- 02
First-visit inspection
The technician works the perimeter, harborage points, entry gaps and prey pressure, identifying the species first, to learn where scorpions rest rather than where someone spotted one.
- 03
Treat and exclude
Targeted treatment at the harborage, residential pest control for the prey base, and sealing on the entry routes, all in the same visit.

Guaranteed results
Another scorpion inside means another visit, free. Coverage continues quarter after quarter, and the money-back guarantee is the floor under all of it.
Southlake Scorpion Control FAQ
Below are answers on landscaped harborage, night sightings, residual sprays, greenbelts and what a sting does.
Under stone veneer, landscape boulders, stacked firewood and anything else sitting flat against a wall or on the ground. A Southlake property offers a great deal of that, and every piece of it is cool, tight daytime harborage that no surface spray will ever reach. That is why the treatment goes to those places rather than across an open patio.
Hunting hours. All day they stay wedged into gaps and voids, and they come out to feed once it is dark. The consequence is that a single one on a Southlake hallway floor says nothing useful about how many are outside, which is exactly why the exterior harborage gets the attention rather than the rooms you are finding them in.
It is not, and that is why sightings carry on in houses that see a spray every quarter. Product on a surface only matters if a scorpion crosses it, and they spend most of the day underneath something. On a Southlake property the change comes from treating the shelter itself and closing the ways in, with spray as back-up behind it.
Firewood, spare landscape stone, planters sitting directly on soil and anything flat against the brick. On a Southlake property those pieces are usually the finest harborage on the entire lot. Raising all of it onto a rack and pulling it away from the wall changes what your exterminator finds next visit, and it makes the treatment land better as well.
They can, though more often they are already living in the landscaping closer to the house. A Southlake property with boulders, veneer and irrigated beds supplies everything they need without any help from the boundary. That is encouraging, because your exterminator can actually treat harborage on your own land properly rather than simply tolerating it year after year.
It hurts, and for most healthy adults that is the extent of it. The striped bark scorpion is the local species and the sting is comparable to a wasp. Reactions vary though, so a small child or anyone with allergies who gets stung should see a doctor. The sensible response is fewer of them, not fear of them around the house.
Whatever each opening needs, which your exterminator decides on site, plus screening across vents and weep holes so air still moves through the wall. The standard is a closure that lasts, because a scorpion gets through almost nothing and will use whatever gap remains.
Two weeks or so from the day we treat the harborage and close the openings. The first few days can look worse, because they are abandoning shelter and on the move. That is the work taking effect. A month on and still finding them indoors on a Southlake property means we missed something, and the return is free.
